Later on DeClemente tells the operator that this isn't his first time stopping on the bridge.

"I've already been to this bridge before to stop it and I've been in four different jails," DeClemente can be heard telling the operator.

With an officer on the way, the operator asks DeClemente if he has any weapons in the vehicle.

"There's pepper spray. There might be a smoke bomb in the back. I see knives somewhere, but there's nothing in my immediate vicinity that will harm anybody," DeClemente tells the operator.

A little more than an hour after the standoff on the bridge, DeClemente was arrested.

Emergency officials say DeClemente was taken to Roper Hospital's emergency room for an evaluation but somehow got away and was captured at MUSC.

DeClemente is still in jail being held without bond on charges of stalking and threats.He says patients have to be given the benefit of the doubt that they can live their lives as long as it's safe for other people out there.
